Startups & Innovative Companies: Africa A to Z

I doubt many people could list 300 companies if you challenged them to talk about African startups or if you challenged them to describe anything innovative that is going on. I found myself very often hearing people saying negative things about the continent. The focus was often on poverty, corruption, poor leaders, charity work, the exodus of young migrants across the Sahara and through the Mediterranean, and safari trips. This didn’t gel with the image of Africa, I as an African had in mind.

I know that in parts of Africa people are going to work at 4.30am in the morning and coming back at 8.30pm – 12.30pm ( because of traffic ). I know that everyone with a job is constantly asking themselves, “How better can I use my time to run a business or provide a service?”

So I thought, if this is also the Africa I know, why is no-one writing about it? And why should people not write about it? I think writing about it can provide encouragement to those looking to start their own businesses, it can provide encouragement to high net worth individuals, pensioners and savers who want better returns that there are competent African businesses out there. It can provide comfort to the graduates that jobs are being created, and to employees that they too can one day be business owners.

Even the United States and other developed economies have poverty, crime, corruption, social inequality and the kind of societal problems that people look down on Africa for. Yet, people still invest in the West and people still approach the West with Hope.

The history of many developed economies is littered with dark chapters as well as positive accomplishments. Most developed economies tend to bury the dark stories, re-write history and sing praises about the accomplishments. No one will talk about the Panic of 1835, the Panic of 1839, the Indian Removal Act, the 3/5ths of a person statements in the US constitution but we all talk about the US as the home of the free and the land of the brave, even when history says people were both free and slaves, people were both brave and cowardly.

Even when Europe was a rubble, the United States and other parties put together the Marshal Plan, one of the biggest investment programs in the world and made an effort to help Europe get back on track. Nobody said this event, World War 2, has been the biggest display of uncivilised behaviour and failed governance in recent memory, let’s call Europe “a Frontier Market”.

So I think Africans need to be more hopeful even if the Foreign Direct Investment doesn’t come and Africans need to start to get things done. So this is a celebration. It is a celebration of those businesses that are being innovative and that are “bootstrapping” by necessity. No investors have queued up to pump $1 trillion into these startups like United States start ups are getting, but with the little investment that they have, here are businesses in Africa that are succeeding and being innovative.

This article contains a list of 300 African startups and established businesses with information about their headquarters, business brief, and founder(s). This list of innovative businesses may interest investors, suppliers and job-seekers. We hope this article will prove to helpful for our readers. Writing on these companies led us to a realization that the future is bright for Africa and that there are opportunities for other entrepreneurs to emerge.

Discovery outcomes:

We hope you find companies to support

We hope you find services you can buy

We hope you find employers you can work for

We hope you feel “Hope” that good businesses and integrity will always get investment!
